Afenifere’s leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, criticized the Department of State Services (DSS) for making a “strange remark” and said that the DSS had evolved into an arm of the current government, the All Progressives Congress.
Adebanjo, who spoke while participating in an Arise TV program on Friday, categorically denied that the recent DSS statement, which claimed that some people were attempting to impose an interim government by May 29 and end the country’s democratic process, was anything other than a plot to arrest opposition leaders.
The leader of Afenifere questioned the DSS’s whereabouts when threats were made against a portion of the nation in Lagos and the threats were afterward carried out without preventing it or even detaining anyone up to this point.
While condemning the DSS for causing panic within the nation rather than taking action, following its statement on a potential uprising that may lead to an interim government, Pa Adebanjo said “The announcement is suspect.”
“They (DSS) have an agenda they have not told us. My view is that it’s an attempt to arrest leaders of the opposition who are trying to do protests, which is constitutional.”
“If you see anybody who wants to do anything anti-government, produce the facts and charge them to court,” he challenged the DSS.
